Phillip has updated his game “Last Mobile Space Battalion”. It’s a mix of Space Invaders and Yar’s Revenge.

Release notes:

Due to time constraints and major computer problems, I have not yet started on my second game, wallball.
I’ve done some more work on my first game, mainly so I can refamiliarize myself with Batari Basic again.

This version of LMSB includes shields and the UFO firing at its discretion. Sound effects were overhauled.

There’s also a title screen 🙂

I’m hoping to get started on wallball in the next couple of days. Tons of potentional, but it won’t be an easy project.

Jump ‘n Bump, a cute bunny game with blood, ported to the Wii. This is a multiplayer game. Each player controls a fluffy bunny jumping around in a pleasant environment. The aim is simply to jump on the other bunnies to make them explode in a shower of blood and to increase your score. Fun for the whole family!

Jump ‘n Bump runs at the silly resolution of 400×256, a ratio of 25:16. A scaleup option is present in the code to make it run at 800×512, a mode the Wii does not support
